O Say, What Is Truth?

There's part and parcel truths, and then there's whole truths. Any good lawyer (or journalist) can pick out a bunch of small truths and make a great lie. Attach adjectives to it and, voila, you have a very factual lie. And over the span of the tribune's recent history, there is a lot of that, in my opinion.

Here are the Des News ...

Seems spot on to me.

It doesn't matter if it's true. Journalists are supposed to be objective,

Duke Silver

9/21/14 8:18am

journalistic objectivity is a myth that the industry has hid behind for far too

pellegrino

9/21/14 12:15pm

Not really. Objective reporting should be the aim.

'dweller

9/21/14 12:21pm

If the Trib said the Sun was going to rise in the East...

DeepCCoug

9/21/14 3:43pm

Maybe you should consider moving a little further to the North, Pyongyang...

9/21/14 4:26pm

Your opinion and 50 cents...

"Good thing for me then, that your book means ugots to me"

'dweller

9/21/14 4:39pm

It doesn't matter if it's true??? So you don't want their headlines to be true?

That's how spies were trained to beat lie detector tests, by the way,

'dweller

9/21/14 4:44pm

You don't get it do you? There are positives and negatives from every game. No

Duke Silver

9/21/14 8:51pm

That's why I never look at the friggin Trib.

HighHorse

So predictable

NewMexiCoug

9/21/14 9:05am

UVA is arguably the better team too, but they choose a negative

ocmyhome

9/21/14 9:07am

Better than Michigan?

Harrison0Yfan

9/21/14 10:22am

You don't think UVA might be better than Michigan?

mobius

9/21/14 10:27am

I think it is pretty obvious that they are better than Michigan

IrishBlue

9/21/14 10:30am

are you kidding? Michigan is TERRIBLE

macaroni

9/21/14 10:55am

I personally have as many TDs vs P5s as Michigan. Zero.

Anae4Anae

9/21/14 1:26pm

This year UVA is much better than Mich

9/21/14 2:05pm

Chill guys, I'm not saying Michigan is better than UVA. I couldn't tell whether

Harrison0Yfan

9/21/14 6:03pm

Clearly your question was non-specific too

mobius

9/21/14 6:12pm

Yep, communication fail

Harrison0Yfan

9/22/14 8:31pm

Utah scored two TDs, one was SP. Utah is a solid team, but MICH sucks.

ag4cougs

They will eat it all when SC pounds them!!!

SLTrib headline: "Utes shine in moral victory against USC"

9/21/14 11:24am

they will have a shiner all right.

digitalayon

9/21/14 12:54pm

Exactly...or my favorite "Utah Falls Short Against USC"...final score 44-6.

Nut'n'2Say

9/21/14 1:27pm

I wouldn't be surprised if Utah beats USC this year. If so, we'll never hear

It was so bad, I took a screen shot to post today.

Choke

9/21/14 11:56am

Who cares if SL Trib has a bias?

9/21/14 12:11pm

I don't think it is inappropriate for fans to point out bias against their team

mobius

9/21/14 12:18pm

Yeah, the D News bias is WAY more blatant than the Trib's

"Utes leave the Big House with a large win, 26-10" --Deseret News

'dweller

9/21/14 1:04pm

OK. All I see are accurate headlines, from both papers.

fredgarvin

9/21/14 1:14pm

You don't get it, then.

'dweller

9/21/14 1:24pm

BYU beat a "Short-Handed Texas" team followed by lackluster Ws vs Houston & UVA

Nut'n'2Say

9/21/14 1:33pm

Jay Drew doesn't write his headlines...

fredgarvin

9/21/14 1:34pm

Jay...is that you? I know he doesn't write the headlines, but he does write...

Nut'n'2Say

9/21/14 1:50pm

From my point of view, YOU don't get it

fredgarvin

9/21/14 1:33pm

Cougarboard doesn't have the facade of an objective newspaper.

'dweller

9/21/14 1:48pm

Other problems with your view of the Trib aside...

9/21/14 4:28pm

The Trib is a Salt Lake paper. The U is in Salt Lake.

fredgarvin

9/21/14 7:25pm

It may not be complicated but you have it wrong

9/22/14 1:09am

Your problem is you're expecting objectivity.

9/21/14 2:16pm

I'm not expecting objectivity at all actually. That ship has sailed as far as

'dweller

9/21/14 2:22pm

That's the thing about biases

9/21/14 2:32pm

Ok. But there's also the equivalency argument.

'dweller

9/21/14 2:41pm

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Go Cougs!

"BYU is imperfect and undefeated", "BYU's victory over Houston was an underachie

Are you arguing that the church owned media sources

9/21/14 7:03pm

Glad I don't live in Utah and thus can care less.

Michicoug

Solution: stop buying the Trib and stop clicking on their links.
